Microsoft just released a list of games headed for the Platinum Hits budget line. Don't get too excited, as they range mostly from the "blah" to the "huh?":

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (Electronic Arts)

burnout revenge (Electronic Arts)

Call of Duty 2 (Activision)

Dead or Alive 4 (TECMO Inc.)

Fight Night Round 3 (Electronic Arts)

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (Ubisoft)

Top Spin 2 (2K Sports)

Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis (Rockstar Games)

When did thirty bucks become the "budget" price, anyway? If last-gen's $50 games were discounted to $20, shouldn't $60 games go down to $25?
